He's in hot water, and his apology today is not being accepted by anyone.
The story needs to be put in context. Morgan made the anti-gay comments in Tennessee, where they're trying to ban the mention of gays by teachers in public schools, and they just repealed every municipal civil rights ordinance on the books, at the request of the religious right and the business community, both of whom were upset with Nashville's new gay and trans civil rights ordinance. It's gone now. And all this happened just a few weeks ago.
And Morgan has a history of gay-baiting in his stand-up routines (he said being gay was a "choice" in a previous routine), but that's nothing like what he did last Friday.
He reportedly said he'd stab his son to death if the boy turned out gay.
That was after he said that people are born gay, and he knows this because "God don't make no mistakes." Get it, we're mistakes.
He said lesbians don't exist, they're just women who hate men.
He then took on the recent news on "bullying", and the fact that it's caused a number of gay teens to recently kill themselves. Apparently that's funny too. He told bullied kids to quit whining and stop being pussies.
That's when he added that he'd stab his gay son to death.
The audience ate it up with lots of "you go, Tracy!"
Yeah, well, you gone Tracy.
